Meet Mr. Drankus
Hi, my name is Mr. Drankus. I am married to a wonderful woman who’s name is Michelle. I have a 19 month old daughter (Aubrey) and have another child on the way. I was born in West Allis, Wisconsin, but moved to Sheboygan when my wife was hired as a teacher in 2005. I then went back to school myself in 2007, received my teaching degree, and shortly after was hired by the Sheboygan Area School District as a Kindergarten Teacher in 2011. My family is very important to me! My parents still live in West Allis. They are both retired and are enjoying the freedom of retirement. I also have one older brother, two older sisters, 8 nieces & nephews, and 2 dogs. I love to do activities such as camping, fishing, and hunting. Outside of the classroom you can find me traveling the country racing as a professional mountain bike racer.
